What about if you fit different top mounts?

Can Camber and Castor then be changed?

Actually its a yes, ecccentric top mounts allow for both castor and camber adjustment; some allow for individual adjustment between camber and castor.

Although IMO adjustable TCA’s are better and easier for camber adjustment.

Concetric top mounts allow for no adjustment.
